Chapter 37

Tang Nuan thought that she had made enough preparations, but when she came out, she realized why her grandmother kept laughing at her at that time. It turned out that knowing and actually seeing her were different. Tang Nuan looked at a mother-in-law in surprise and awe. The price of the item was reduced to half before buying it. Tang Nuan looked at the items in Lan Xi's hands. She bought them just now. She thought she bought them cheaply, but now it seems that they are much more expensive. .

In fact, it’s no wonder Tang Nuan, Tang Nuan’s original jewelry were all extremely delicate, and some of the gadgets were carefully selected by Tang Yuanshan, so how could it be these few articles that could be sent to Tang Nuan .

The mother-in-law bought a wooden carved animal. After buying it, she handed it to the child who had been watching eagerly by her side. The child held the wooden carving in one hand and the old woman's hand in the other, and jumped up and down on his short legs. followed the old woman away.

Although the child was dressed in civilian clothes, he was cute and cute. He combed his bun and looked down at the wood carvings and relatives for a while, grinning and grinning non-stop.

Lan Xi said, "That child is so cute, I'm afraid it's a girl."

Tang Nuan smiled and said, "Let's find a restaurant to eat first, Uncle Du, do you know?"

Uncle Du was the coachman arranged by Mr. Tang for Tang Nuan. In fact, Uncle Du was only in his 30s, but he looked very steady. He didn't talk much along the way, but he arranged everything well and was very reliable.

"There is a noodle restaurant in the alley that turns left not far ahead." Uncle Du said.

Tang Nuan nodded and said, "Then let's go eat noodles."

Now that Tang Nuan had made a decision, Uncle Du took the three of them to the noodle shop. The noodle cakes were then cut into thumb-thick and half-finger-thick, which tasted very strong. The soup contained vegetables and shredded pork, which tasted very fresh.

There are not only noodles, but also their own pickled side dishes. Tang Nuan ate a bowl by himself, and was extremely satisfied. Lan Le also ate with sweat on his face, and Lan Xi helped Tang Nuan peel the sugar garlic. Tang Nuan took a small bite, it was sweet and sour with a bit of garlic flavor, but it was not unpalatable. Tang Nuan didn't eat onion, ginger and garlic at home, but now it tastes not bad, but even so, Tang Nuan Nuan also only ate two and stopped moving, but Uncle Du liked sweet garlic very much, one bite at a time.

This noodle shop has been open for a long time, and there are many people coming and going to eat, but there are not many people like the four of them. It is inevitable that some people will pay more attention. Tang Nuan was a little shy when eating out, but later got used to.

After the four of them finished eating, Uncle Du packed some sugar, garlic and side dishes before he was about to leave. Who knew that when he was at the door, he saw a middle-aged man leading a child in. That child was the one they had seen on the street. Yes, he still holds the wooden sculpture in his hand, "Father, face."

The middle-aged man reached out and rubbed the child's head, his expression was a little bad, "OK."

As he said that, he looked at the location of the store. There were no empty tables now. The middle-aged man took the child to share the table with others. The man only ordered a bowl, but seeing the child eating, he ordered another small bowl. The dish shredded pork was poured in for him, "Dad eat!"

"Father won't eat, you eat by yourself." The man lowered his head and stopped talking, and the child nodded and continued to eat.

Tang Nuan took a look and felt that this family really cherished the children, but Uncle Du took a look and didn't say anything, because it was getting late and they were resting here tonight. Uncle Du had already found an inn, and the inn they stayed in was The biggest and the best here, the price is naturally the highest. When eating, Uncle Du often takes Tang Nuan to eat something more distinctive. There are big restaurants and some small shops in those places. When staying, Uncle Du will only choose Those are the best, and the locations are also the busiest.

If it's only Uncle Du, there's no need to do this, and he brings the three girls home, so safety is of course the top priority.

When leaving the city the next day, Tang Nuan did not expect to see the child again, but this time the child was hugged by a middle-aged woman, crying and struggling, "What's going on?"

Lan Xi and Lan Le looked at each other and said, "The girl is afraid that the child is naughty, so the child's mother..."

Tang Nuan didn't think so. The child kept crying for his father and mother. If this woman was really his mother, he would never be able to do so.

"Uncle Du stopped her." Tang Nuan was still in the carriage, she just heard the heart-piercing cry of the child, so she opened the window and looked out.

"Yes." As for Tang Nuan's orders, as long as her safety was not involved, Uncle Du would not stop her.

Uncle Du quickly stopped the woman, and the woman held the child guardedly and asked, "Who are you, why are you stopping me!"

Because of the incident here, many people stopped in their tracks and looked at Uncle Du and the others. Tang Nuan got out of the carriage, Lan Xi and Lan Le guarded her, the middle-aged woman saw that Uncle Du did not speak, The voice became louder, pointing at Uncle Du and cursing confidently.

When Tang Nuan came over, she stood in front of Uncle Du and said, "Auntie, I want to ask you something." Tang Nuan was beautiful and had a good attitude, and the people around her became even more curious for a while.

"I saw this child twice yesterday, but the child was not accompanied by you." Tang Nuan's voice was gentle and polite, and he looked young, which made people feel disgusted.

The middle-aged woman changed her face and said, "What does my family matter have to do with you? Why are you staring at my family's affairs? Why is this not my child? You know what!"

Tang Nuan frowned, and waited for the middle-aged woman to finish speaking before saying, "I'm afraid this child is from this city, there should be someone who knows him, I don't know if you are this child's family member or not." , but someone will know.”

As soon as the words came out, all the onlookers understood, and Tang Nuan continued, "After all, this child is young and doesn't know anything. If it is... If I misunderstood, then I will definitely apologize to you." .”

"What the girl said is also reasonable, it's better to ask clearly."

"There are so many hitmen now."

"Ask clearly, who knows this child."

"Show the child's face."

"By the way, does anyone know this woman?"

"I haven't seen it."

"Not from this city."

The anxious women around went forward and snatched the crying child, "Oh, poor thing, this woman must be a human trafficker, damn send her to the police."

"Fart." The woman said angrily when she heard the sending officer, "They gave me this child! It belongs to the Wang family in the east of the city. If you don't believe me, ask!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was silent. Tang Nuan didn't think about it for a while, and looked at Uncle Du who had been standing silently by the side, but Lan Xi and Lan Le understood. Although they were by Tang Nuan's side very early Serving, but not from the very beginning, they met a lot of other servants, and knew a lot, after all, not all of them were born in the family, and many of them were sold into the Tang Mansion.

"Girl." Lan Xi called out worriedly.

Tang Nuan looked at the silent crowd and said, "Let the child?"

The middle-aged woman took the child back and said, "Go and ask, I also took five taels of silver to make up for his wife."

"Bah." An outspoken woman couldn't help but say, "His mother died a long time ago, no wonder there is a stepmother and a stepfather."

Tang Nuan understood now, the whole person was silent, and the middle-aged man who had seen the child to eat noodles yesterday hurried over, Tang Nuan listened numbly to his explanation to the crowd, and then the crowd dispersed, the middle-aged man The young woman held the child and glared at Tang Nuan a few times, but she was worried about Uncle Du, so she supported and cursed, "Eat salty carrots and don't worry about it." She left with the crying child in her arms.

The middle-aged man didn't look good, and left in a hurry with his head down.

"Girl, get in the car." Lan Xi said cautiously.

Tang Nuan's lips were tightly pursed, and she just nodded and got back into the carriage. Uncle Du quickly drove out of the city. The speed of the carriage was faster than two legs after all. Tang Nuan looked at the middle-aged woman outside the window , that child was tired from crying, and twitched every now and then.

"Uncle Du, where will this child be sent?" Tang Nuan leaned against the door of the carriage and asked.

Uncle Du said, "I don't know, five taels of silver is already a lot, and this child is worth so much if he grows up well."

Tang Nuan clenched her fists, "If that person is willing to spend five taels of silver to buy him, it means that she can earn more taels from this child."

Uncle Du stopped talking, Lan Xi asked, "Girl..."

"The government does not allow children to be bought and sold." Tang Nuan seemed to be speaking to others, but also to herself, "But they said they were letting children, and then gave money to make up for their health, isn't that just a different way of saying it? "

Uncle Du stopped the carriage and asked, "What do you want to do, Miss?"

Tang Nuan asked back, "Uncle Du, how many people do you think I can save?"

"I don't know." Du Shu said respectfully.

Tang Nuan said, "It's just that you can't ignore it when you see it. Just take it as a fate between me and this child. Uncle Du, please buy this child back. Find a trustworthy family on the way and give the child to them, or wait until Qinghe Pass Finally, there will always be a place to house the child."

"Yes." Uncle Du said, but instead of helping, he gestured to the people hiding around, "Miss, it's been arranged, please sit down, the car is about to move."

Tang Nuan complied. Both Lan Xi and Lan Le could see that Tang Nuan was in a bad mood, so they didn't speak in the carriage. Tang Nuan leaned on the cushion and looked at her hands. She seemed to be able to hear the child I'm afraid that such a young child doesn't understand things, and doesn't understand what happened at all. After he knows that he was sold by his relatives, will he feel sad and painful?

These are just what she saw, what if she didn't see it?

"Do you think there will be a day when nothing like this will happen to Yuan Yong?" Tang Nuan asked.

Lan Xi hesitated and said, "I don't know."

Tang Nuan sighed and said, "It would be great if there was such a day."
